Wildlife Photo of the Day - February 13, 2018: Heading into YNP on an early morning Bombardier run with fresh snow and fresh wolf tracks. This morning the Wapiti Lake pack was hunting its namesake bull elk (wapiti). At first it was just a glimpse of a ghost standing in the road and then breaking for cover, and finally two more, and soon it was 16 wolves howling back and forth. At last the pack came out of the dense woods and walked along the Madison River — 10 total with 6 more on our side of the river dancing in and out of the trees. What a treat to see the white alpha leading the way. Soon they were up on the hillside and had the bulls completely surrounded. It seemed imminent that a chase would happen. The wolves tried everything short of an enmasse frontal assault, but the elk held their ground seeming to know if they ran it would all be over. After two hours the wolves tired and retreated back into the trees and eventually moved off looking for other prey.

This is Chinook. He is the alpha male of his pack, and a very dominatory one. He doesn't mess around, and doesn't come out of the forest unless he wants something. He will come out once in a while to survey whats happening and then go right back. I've been told that when they have a fresh kill and when he comes out to eat, all the other wolves step back and Chinook eats whatever he wants - goes back into the forest and then everybody else gets their pick.

Original photograph taken near Banff, Alberta.

Available in multiple fine art formats to suit your living space. Piercing eyes of a timber wolf near Banff, Alberta. Human activity has proven challenging for the Bow Valley Wolves in the past. Between the train tracks that run through the Park, campers luring wild animals in with the smell of cooking food, and the lack of protections when they wander outside of the Park, pack numbers constantly fluctuate. Having spent most of last winter outside, I came across the Bow Valley Wolf Pack multiple times and am happy to see them keeping their distance from us. The leader of this particular pack is much more cautious than the ones of the past and I believe this will contribute to their survival. From observing this particular member of the pack I believe her to be a female. She has a very subtle black marking above her left eyebrow that distinguishes her from the rest. // Print Formats >> Fine Art Prints (Unframed) Printed using archival inks on a 100% cotton Hahnemühle paper, these prints are made to last. Fine art paper offers a subtle texture and rich colors that complement this style of photography beautifully. Prints will arrive unmatted and unframed. They are printed from edge to edge with no borders. We recommend this style if you plan to do the framing yourself. (We can also ship framed prints - contact us for details.) >> HD Metal Prints Printed directly onto an aluminum backing with a white base high-gloss finish. These prints offer stunning high-definition quality and beautiful vivid colors. They come with a ¾" foam backing so that they stand out from your wall. You can hang them with a nail, or we like to use two command strips so that it doesn't damage your wall. Metal prints are lightweight, easy to hang and clean (just wipe with a cloth.) The metal texture is not visible through the image. Metal prints look amazing in any modern environment. These are Steve's personal favorite. >> Gallery Wrap Canvas Images are Giclée printed on premium fine art canvas and stretched across a 1½" wooden frame.
